Fantastic startup advice from Marc Andreessen 15 years ago. https://t.co/slnUkIGB5j
"I see many pitch decks with seed founders touting a platform as a strategy, but it’s not feasible until they hit scale on the core product. Platforms are an output of product success that can propel the next stage, not an input." - @BrandonMChu https://t.co/hp9E5a6Ow4... See more
a few very quotes that hint at a very powerful concept in startups:
1) "The trick is, a market has to be nonexistent when you start. If the market is large early on, you will have too many competitors. You have to make it large."
-Douglas Leone
tyler hoggex.comThe best startup advice used to be "ignore competitors; just make something people want."
These days it seems like everyone is obsessed with moats and market structures and the behavior of incumbents.
Seems like we've gone too far. Just make something people want.
